2020 State of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging in Plaid Engineering

Plaid Engineering has released its 2020 State of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging report, detailing the company's progress on these fronts. The report highlights improvements in gender diversity within engineering management and overall retention rates for women engineers. However, there is still work to be done in terms of underrepresented groups (URG) representation and fostering a sense of belonging. Plaid has implemented various initiatives such as org-wide transparency, recruiting funnel diversity, inclusion meeting training, community building, and product inclusion principles to improve DEIB at the company. For 2021, Plaid plans to continue these efforts while focusing on increasing women and URG representation in experienced IC positions and addressing any remaining gaps in fostering a sense of belonging.
